What is this?

WINNIPEG — Winnipeg Transit is getting into the holiday spirit with its annual Santa Bus.

Starting Thursday, Bus #147 will be transformed into the Santa Bus, decked out in holiday gear.

All cash fares and donations collected on the Santa Bus go directly to the Christmas Cheer Board. Last year it raised $13,000.

The holiday bus will run down the 11 Kildonan-Portage from Thursday until Tuesday; bus 16 Osborne-Selkirk from Dec. 6 to Dec. 12; bus 19 Marion-Logan, Notre Dame from Dec. 13 to Dec. 18; and bus 18 North Main-Corydon from Dec. 19 to Dec. 24.
